| {{Enforcement policy list}} | |
| '''Blocking''' is the method by which [[Bharatpedia:Administrators|administrators]] technically prevent users from editing Bharatpedia. Blocks may be applied to [[BP:Account|user accounts]], to [[BP:IP|IP addresses]], and to IP address ranges, for either a definite or an indefinite time, to all or a subset of pages. Blocked users can continue to access Bharatpedia, but cannot edit any page they are blocked from (including, if appropriate, their own [[Bharatpedia:User pages|user pages]]). In most cases, a site-wide blocked user will only be able to edit their own [[Bharatpedia:User talk pages|user talk page]].
| |
| | |
| Blocks are used to prevent damage or [[Bharatpedia:Disruptive editing|disruption to Bharatpedia]], not to punish users (see {{section link||Purpose and goals}}). Any user may report disruption and ask administrators to consider blocking a disruptive account or IP address (see {{section link||Requesting blocks}}).
| |
| | |
| If editors believe a block has been improperly issued, they can request a review of that block at [[Bharatpedia:Administrative action review]]. Administrators can unblock a user when they feel the block is unwarranted or no longer appropriate.
| |
| | |
| Blocking is different from [[Bharatpedia:Banning policy|banning]], which is a formal retraction of [[Bharatpedia:User access levels|editing privileges]] on all or part of Bharatpedia. Blocks disable a user's ability to edit pages; bans do not. However, bans may be enforced by blocks; users who are subject to a total ban, or who breach the terms of a partial ban, will most likely be site-wide blocked to enforce the ban.
